Pleasant Homes In Summer Dress.

1t has grown to be the fashion 10 make
complete change of furniture, drapings, and
the like, and to put our homes III summer
apparel to take up carpets that entirely cover
the floor, and replace with rugs. This very
much helps 70 keep the rooms cool in hot
weather. besides making them attractive to
the eye. Then. regarding mating, one has
only to walk through some of onr large fur
nishing warehouses in town to see for how
small sum n floor can be laid with novel
and artistic covering. The winter carpet
gains by the summer rest, and viii last
longer One need not be extravaganza TO
furnish rooms in good taste for the heated
term, as with the use of n few bottles OF stain,
the floors can be darkened; a few more or
gold, bronze or enamel viii completely trans
form the appearance OF the quaint old fash
toned chairs reegated to the attic. The heavy
looking winter portieres may be replaced by
airy ones of Madras, art lace, or simple Not
tingham or scrim. Cushions, foot stools and
divans can be covered with dainty cretonne
in gay Vatican designs, and the greatest
needful expense Of summer room 60 look
most inviting for the entire season would be
the purchase of a goodly number of low broad
easy chairs and rockers Of rattan and willow,
to be scattered freely in every available nook
and corner.

Care of the Baby.

I think babies have stood enough abuse.
helpless, and they are made to endure the
contumely that does not belong to them
Why do people speak OF a bouncing bebyi
A baby usually OF the age to which that term
is applied is about as far from bouncing as
it can we'll be- 1t is the incarnation of limp
ness
"Isn't it bouncing boyY" asks the nurse,
ecstatically.
And Just at that moment the little innocent
lump of human dough is lying with its thumb
in its mouth, perfectly limp. But there is a
side issue A squalling baby has been the
destroyer of all romance of connubial bliss.
This effect is not produced by the baby, but
by the neighbors objecting. And the mother
may suffer, but still allow the poor little
thing TO stand all the blame. Its shame.
may object to baby that wakes up the
house in the middle of the night with crying,
but the baby crying is not a patch on the
mother soothing it. That simply drives you
mad, aud when you hear a heavier foot land
on the floor and kind of a rough sound, you
may look out for the father, whose attempts
to quiet the child would wake the seven
sleepers II they'd only let the child cry, 1t
would soon get tired and so to sleep; but
they keep 500 hing It until it gets wild staring
wide awake and bowls for hours Leave the
baby alone and be good enough TO apologize
in the morning in behalf of the baby for the
noise you've made yourself.-San Francisco

The Amos of Japau.

A puzzle to the ethnologists Is presented in
tie fast expiring race which were the true
predecessors of the japanese all over the
Japan archipelago. The dawn of history
shows the Amos living far to the south and
west of their present haunts; and ever since
then, century by century, we see them re-
treating eastward and northward, as steadily
as the American Indian has retreated west
ward under the pressure Of the colonists from
Europe. Their numbers are growing smaller
decade by decade; their industries are passing
into Japanese hands; the animals which were
their principal sustenance are rapidly becom-
ing extinct; the survivors of the people al
most all speak japanese as well as their own
tongue, and are losing their special character
fstics The race is now no more than a
"curio" to the philologist and to the ethnol-
ogist. 1t has no future, because it has no
root in the past. The impression left Oh the
mind after sojourn among the Amos is that
Of profound melancholy. The existence Of
this race has been as aimless, as fruitless, az
Is the perpetual dashing of the breakers on
the shore of Horooestu. 1t leaves behind it
nothing save few names.-Chicago News
